She did really well in their interaction in the garden with a threatening Kenneth. She won on all counts that one may wish to consider. She remained dignified, reasonable, articulate yet assertive depsite clearly being intimidated by his abusive verbal language and threatening body language. Her peformance was a wonderful demonstration of how reason and decency in social situations can overcome threatening behaviour and in many ways seem more powerful.
Kenneth was clearly incensed that Bea had the temerity to question, or as he understood it, to criticise him. This sort of behaviour towards him was, as he said, not something he had ever had to deal with. His fury was incandescent, while controlled and theatrical for maximum effect. He is clearly someone who is used to threatening people and believing in its efficacy.
Well done Bea.
Amazing display in the garden
Well, I liked what I thought was her intellect and initially I thought, great, somebody who will be an instant strong ally for Freddie and somebody for him to relate to. I liked the fact that she seemed ambiguous and representative of another sort of woman, different to Noirin, Karly, Sophie and Lisa. I thought she was a "thinking woman's" girlfriend.
